Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo
Treatment: Drugs - Aflibercept (ziv-aflibercept, AVE0005, VEGF trap, ZALTRAP®)
Treatment: Drugs - FOLFIRI (Irinotecan, 5-Fluorouracil, and Leucovorin)
Treatment: Drugs - FOLFIRI (Irinotecan, 5-Fluorouracil, and Leucovorin)

Placebo Comparator: Placebo/FOLFIRI - Participants with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer administered Placebo followed by FOLFIRI (Irinotecan, 5-Fluorouracil, and Leucovorin) starting on Day 1 of a 2-week cycle until a treatment discontinuation criterion was met

Experimental: Aflibercept/FOLFIRI - Participants with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer administered Aflibercept followed by FOLFIRI (Irinotecan, 5-Fluorouracil, and Leucovorin) starting on Day 1 of a 2-week cycle until a treatment discontinuation criterion was met


Treatment: Drugs: Placebo
4 mg/kg of sterile aqueous buffered vehicle (pH 6.0) was administered intra venously (IV) over 1 hour on Day 1, every 2 weeks

Treatment: Drugs: Aflibercept (ziv-aflibercept, AVE0005, VEGF trap, ZALTRAP®)
4 mg/kg of Aflibercept was administered IV over 1 hour on Day 1, every 2 weeks.

Treatment: Drugs: FOLFIRI (Irinotecan, 5-Fluorouracil, and Leucovorin)
The FOLFIRI regimen was initiated immediately after Placebo administration on Day 1
The FOLFIRI regimen included:
180 mg/m² Irinotecan (Campto®, Camptosar®) IV infusion over 90 minutes and dl leucovorin 400 mg/m² (200 mg/m² for the l-isomer form) IV infusion over 2 hours, followed by:
5-FU 400 mg/m² IV bolus given over 2-4 minutes, followed by:
5-FU 2400 mg/m² continuous IV infusion over 46-hours

Treatment: Drugs: FOLFIRI (Irinotecan, 5-Fluorouracil, and Leucovorin)
The FOLFIRI regimen was initiated immediately after Aflibercept administration on Day 1
The FOLFIRI regimen included:
180 mg/m² Irinotecan (Campto®, Camptosar®) IV infusion over 90 minutes and dl leucovorin 400 mg/m² (200 mg/m² for the l-isomer form) IV infusion over 2 hours, followed by:
5-FU 400 mg/m² IV bolus given over 2-4 minutes, followed by:

Summary
Brief summary
The main objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of aflibercept (versus
placebo) in increasing the overall survival in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer
treated with FOLFIRI (Irinotecan, 5-Fluorouracil, and Leucovorin) and that have previously
failed an oxaliplatin based treatment for metastatic disease.

The secondary objectives were to compare progression-free survival, to evaluate overall
response rate, to evaluate the safety profile, to assess immunogenicity of intravenous (IV)
aflibercept, and to assess pharmacokinetics of IV aflibercept in both treatment arms.
